Are they signing the death of lineage 2 classic or merely prolonging the death of the inevitable. The servers will die in time, it would make sense that NCsoft's focus is on keeping the casual level 25-35 player at this point. One way to keep the casual player is to try to close the level gap between hardcore and casual players. They have done this with dailies. And they have stunted the high level growth so that they may have a hope of keeping the casual population. Maybe its not that 50+ dont drop enough, maybe its that 25-40 drops too much. Either way, stunting the growth of hardcore players will help the long term server population.
